Some thyroid resources to keep you busy

Greetings one and all. It has been too long since I last managed to tap out some thyroid information and it share with everyone. Hardly a day goes by without something in the news or world events providing inspiration to write about but I just have not made time to sit down and formulate these thoughts into blog posts (yet).

So today I made time. 

I want to share with you some links I have found very useful in my pursuit of good thyroid health. I am sure, having found your way here, you are aware that thyroid disease does not respond well to a one size fits all treatment and so the more information you can gather for yourself, the greater your chances of finding something that works for you. Personally I follow advice from several sources, though not rigidly. Life (and disease) is fluid, ever changing, and while it is important to live well for good health it is also important to enjoy life. Let’s not get bogged down trying to be prescriptive about everything.

Go forth and multiply your thoughts and ideas on how to life well with your thyroid.

www.raypeat.com – Ray Peat understands thyroid disease, metabolism and womens health. Some people may find his work hard to swallow but I think he is right on, man.

http://hypothyroidmom.com/hypothyroid-mom-top-resources/ - Dana Trenti is hypothyroid mom and was one of the first resources I came across in my own search for information. Importantly she campaigns for thryroid testing in pregnancy to prevent unneccesary miscarriage. Although she advicates a Paleo style diet (and I do not) she has some great blog posts so have a look round this site. I am listing her top resources post here which includes Scottish Thyroid Petition, Lorraine Cleavers #thyroidnews and thyroiduk. All great resources.

http://180degreehealth.com/ - sign up to receive some colourful information on how to raise your body temperature. Its not all thyroid related and these guys say its ok to eat MacDonalds, or even worse WHEAT but they are dealing with people who have been at the extreme end of the dieting cycle for too long and are suffering the ill effects which include low body temperature and slow body functions which are of course the same as having low thyroid function. I have found their concept useful. 

www.dannyroddy.com – Danny Roddy explores a lot of Ray Peat ideas and looks at raising body temperature – albeit to regrow hair. It’s all good thyroid health really J

That’s kind of all I have time to give just now but I hope to be back with more soon. Remember, as with all these sites, feel free to ignore content and get back to what you were doing. It is YOUR body, YOUR health and YOUR journey after all. Stay well.
